Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Benita Whitfield. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.

Benita is amazing! So kind, listened to us without judgement and really helped us see eachother in a new light.

I am so impressed with Benita. I love working with her. I am looking forward to our ongoing work. She is straightforward and direct, which I appreciate. She also makes me think. She is a good fit for me, she doesn't sugar coat anything, she also provides literature and videos that are very helpful. Thank you Benita!

Work with me!
